Originally published in French as Exegese medievale, Henri de
Lubac's multivolume study of medieval exegesis and theology has
remained one of the most significant works of modern biblical
studies. Available now for the first time in English, this
long-sought-after volume is an essential addition to the library of
those whose study leads them into the difficult field of biblical
interpretation. The first volume in de Lubac's multivolume work
begins his comprehensive historical and literary study of the way
Scripture was interpreted by the church of the Latin Middle Ages.
Examining the prominent commentators of the Middle Ages and their
texts, de Lubac discusses the medieval approach to biblical
interpretation that sought "the four senses" of Scripture,
especially the dominant practice of attempting to uncover
Scripture's allegorical meaning. Though Bible interpreters from the
Enlightenment era on have criticized such allegorizing as part of
the "naivete of the Middle Ages," de Lubac insists that a full
understanding of this ancient Christian exegesis provides important
insights for us today.
